if you used Turbotax in the prior year any carryovers should transfer when you start 2022. click start new return in Turbotax and it will look for the xxxx.tax2021 file to transfer the data.
if you didn't use Turbotax then:
I see in my 2021 (form 8995) a "qualified business loss carryforward" (about $5K) that needs to be transferred to 2022.
a QBI loss carryforward is different from at-risk carryover. it would get entered on the form that created the loss it could be a k-1, schedule E schedule C or any other form where business income is reported. look at the 8895 because the name of the entity should be listed.
so I would like to now what is considered "at-risk loss." I googled it but it didn't seem super clear to me if it would apply to me.
at--risk is a complicated subject. the usual reason not to be at risk is to not have sufficient tax basis to take the loss. another reason, somewhat over simplified, you put in $5000 into the venture but someone is obligated to cover your losses in excess of $2500 dollars this could be current or in the future. your at-risk amount is only $2500
IRC 465 and the related regs cover at-risk
a simpler discussion is on the instructions to form 6198
